In this one flight sim, I use:

theta#=curveangle(theta#+mousemovex(),theta#,7)
phi#=curveangle(phi#+mousemovey(),phi#,7)

and x,y rotate to control the camera.. I tried loading a ship model in to the game and try to make it act like the camera movements.. unfortunitly, when I move my camera, up and down, the ship rotates on its Z-axis.

Whats the problem here?

If it's rotating on it's z axis, it probably means the x rotation is absolute rather than relative to the object. I.e. if you turn the object 90 degrees in the y rotation, then xrotate it it will rotate relative to the world's x axis, not relative to the object as you may expect. The turn object, pitch object and roll object commands sort this problem out, but they may be in the enhancement pack.

ok the ship isn't actually rotating on the Z axis but when I pitch the camera up, the ship pitches down. I even use SET OBJECT TO CAMERA command and get this problem.

heres a code for making the object getting the angle for the camera tis a different engine:



unfortunitly, it doesn't seem work.. when I get to a certain angle, I see the back of the ship. Like this:
